Behind the scenes:
In the old merchant district of Nakamachi in the Japanese city of Kuroishi (Aomori Prefecture), the buildings still look as they did 150 years ago. Wooden *Machiya* townhouses with white facades and distinctive red roofs and *Kura* warehouses line this beautiful neighborhood. A special feature are the historic wooden arcades that effectively protect passersby from the heavy snowfalls of this region. On my trip to Kuroishi on a winter day in February 2023, I saw how efficient this construction method is. High mountains of snow piled up along the roadsides of Kuroishi. Only under the arbours are passersby protected from the cold, wet weather. In the short film above, you can see a comparison of Kuroishi in winter and in summer.
Technical infos:
I shot this film on a iPhone 14 Pro (winter scenes) and a DJI Osmo Pocket (summer scenes).
